Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our day-to-day lives and had a major impact on the property market. Social distancing and lockdown measures confined people and businesses to their homes and altered the way property management was conducted. Unsurprisingly, many property managers struggled to adapt, with fluctuating demands in rental housing providing an uncertain environment for efficient portfolio management. Although restrictions are easing and the rental market is gaining momentum across the UK, the effects of the pandemic are likely to continue to be felt for some time to come. Now is not a time to relax, it is time to make sure you’re ready to adapt and thrive in 2021. Coronavirus has presented a number of opportunities that, if taken, can mean you can emerge from the crisis in a solid position.
